Style Suave Swag

THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT

As winter dwindles down, I took the opportunity to brace the cold one last time with this suit. Made from wool, flannel is a soft woven material brushed to create extra softness. The brushing process uses a fine metal brush, which rubs the fabric to create fine fibres from the loosely spun yarns. This suit is made with wool flannel from Vitale Barberis Canonico, a family-owned mill that has been spinning some of the world’s finest fabrics with a noticeably soft handfeel for 15 generations. This striking 2-button windowpane suit was paired with a 5-button navy waistcoat, and features a notched lapel, natural shoulder, functional cuffs and side vents. In terms of style, stick to a simple two-button, slim-fitting version as shown here while the icing on the cake is you can split it into separates and wear the jacket and trousers individually with other key pieces in your wardrobe.
